Any mention of other acts playing?

I tried to squeeze some more out of him but he just said he didn’t know that much - I couldn’t try and guess the other ones as I had no clue?

That’s what makes it an obvious fake. That and the absolute unnecessary act of producing loads of low quality printouts of something that’s strictly embargoed. 

Just printing these on my old Inkjet to ... pass around the office? In case anybody didn't get the memo that Madge has agreed to play second down on Other.

Disclosure are a Live UK Exclusive at Lovebox, so that excludes them from a live Glasto set.

Really really strong lineup for Lovebox.

Glasto 2021 I'd love Disclosure to make the step up to outright headlining (or the xx)

Shame. Alestorm would have been great...The thought of people wandering around the site singing F**ked with an Anchor all week pleases me greatly

I was going straight for Drink myself!

Neither of those things are ever gonna happen.

Possible Glasto leak

Obviously this is a fake.....but is there actually or has there been a solid rumor about the offspring playing yet?

Would just about to ask this, The Offspring would be unbelievable!

They have nothing in their tour schedule after 18th of June and are also down to play at Download.  It's technically possible that they could appear (the download lineup makes no mention of The Offspring being a UK exclusive)  but there hasn't been anything (that I have seen) that links them to playing this year.

 

Still very early days though so this could all change

Think they’re not a bad shout for the rock slot.

Would be such a fun set

Fingers crossed they play!!! Be good to have some extra rock on the line up

[Barry Trotter]

Anyone remember Toots and the Maytals no showing west holts a few years ago?

 

Hope they play this year. They are doing some dates next year, they owe us!

It's within the realms of possibility, would be a good laugh and can't see them charging too much.  My dream pick is Rage Against the Machine for that slot at the moment but I don't think that's very likely!

Calm down Mystic Meg! 

Disclosure doing it is definitely unlikely, but The XX absolutely deserve it.

They did their best to make up for it on the Truth Stage a few hours later. Was quite the surprise, walking past and seeing that they were on. But yes, they do.

Mystic Meg 2 here.

I can't see that.  It would be the most melancholy headline set ever.   Subbing the Pyramid is as far as it's going.  Thankfully, Radiohead cheered everyone back up.

That was possibly the only time I have ever found myself disappointed at Glastonbury.

I was beyond annoyed. Stood there for ages. Then a few days later found out they played a mini set at the Shangri La. Was even more annoyed

That’s a long time to stand there waiting

I have seen The Offspring many times and I have to admit that the last ones they were pretty boring. I think following the rock/punk bands would be great to have Billy Talent. They are touring Europe around that time and they are not playing Download.

Almost certain that Aerosmith's booking is considered this years rock slot. Not that The Offspring couldn't play elsewhere (mid Other), but there's no way they're getting a prime time Pyramid slot.

Surprised you feel that way, I thought they went down amazingly. The live show feels so much beefier than the records. 

Each to their own though of course! It's an interesting question to think about, which British acts might be future headliners.

Na you're right. 

That xx show was simply fantastic. Far better than the dross on afterwards. 

Will admit that I'm not sure I see The xx take a Pyramid headline slot though. 

[Airlie]

I also thought the xx were amazing in 2017, I wasn't even a fan before that!

Sunday night headliner to be announced on 15th January according to Michael. I wonder if that will be the 1st or 2nd of the remaining 2?

That’s oddly specific. Makes you wonder if there was some sort of “won’t be announced for x days/weeks after BST goes on sale” arrangement in place.
